[Optional] Autobooting and Returning to GX

To make usb loader gx show everytime you boot your console just put the forwarder .dol(you don't need to rename this one boot.dol) in the root of your sd card.

Then boot priiloader by holding "reset" when the console is booting and choose "Install File" and choose the forwarder .dol file. Then press B (in the wiimote) to get to priiloader main menu. Now go to "settings" and set Autoboot=installed file and Return to=Autoboot and save the settings.

File Paths

Update Path - SD:/config/

This is where the application will create files to save settings and statistics. All the files it makes start with GX to make them easy to find.
GxGlobal.cfg is the main settings and configuration for the loader.
GXGameSettings.cfg contains individual settings for games.
GXGameCount.cfg stores the game play count and favorites choices. A database of information about each game can be stored in this folder as well.

Covers Path - SD:/images/

This is where box art is downloaded to and displayed from. All images must be sized in multiples of 4 or they won't show up. Create separate folders for 2D and 3D covers. When you direct each path to the proper folder the default displays are 3D for the List and Carousel views and 2D for the Grid view.
Official sizes:
2D covers = 160x224
3D covers = 176x248

Disc Image Path - SD:/images/disc/

This is where pictures of the actual game discs are downloaded to and displayed from. All images must be sized in multiples of 4 or they won't show up.
Official size:
Discart = 160x160

Background Music Path - SD:/config/backgroundmusic/

This is the default folder for custom background music.

Theme Path - SD:/theme/(SD:/wtheme for widescreen wii)

This is the default theme location.

Cheatcodes Path - SD:/codes/

This is the folder to put your gct cheat files. DO NOT ASK OR PROVIDE CHEAT CODES DOWNLOAD, ASK QUESTIONS OR TALK ABOUT CHEAT CODES.

TXT Cheatcodes Path - SD:/txtcodes/

Here is where you can place the txt files needed by the code manager. Files must have the full game ID (6 chars.) as name. The downloaded txt files (with the code manager) will be placed here. DO NOT ASK OR PROVIDE CHEAT CODES DOWNLOAD, ASK QUESTIONS OR TALK ABOUT CHEAT CODES.

DOL Path - SD:/

This is where replacement dols (used to fix certain broken games) go.

File folders can be changed to the one you like

Cover Art not displayed

All images must be sized in multiples of 4 or they won't show up.

What does this mean exactly? All my cover art was downloaded from wiitdb but when I upgraded USB Loader to rev 1008 my cover art doesn't show up. They are in images folder on the root of the SD card. Any help or explanation would be appreciated.
